Who needs to be ‘responsible’ and why does responsible tourism matter? There is no denying the increased recognition amongst tourism industry stakeholders and tourists when it comes to social and corporate responsibility, but the reality is that whilst most of us are familiar with the term ‘responsible tourism’, many of us do not know exactly what this entails…. so in this video I will explain all!

Been working on this since we want to promote responsibility in tourism. Our latest attempt to say this is our recent mission statement vlog. I was wondering what you think of it. we are a father son team of anthropologist who are visiting 136 countries in the next few years to promote ecological and cultural travel. If that sounds cool to you please check it out. Cheers!

Hi there Dr.Staunton, I’m thinking about spending my time on a career in Travel and Tourism. I’ve looked into my education programs, I already completed three years of my general education program and now I have the best part of my program is to take what I will major in. My interest has been in the business and travel and tourism career. Do you recommend any one college over the other in terms of price and the college itself? Thank you, Marie Krekora
You’re awesome. Your videos will be very helpful for my master’s.
